1700 The Champ

I've been listening to this over KXNO except for Marty and Miller but something is really starting to bug me...I don't know if they don't have the advertisers lined but but replaying the same Mike and Mike Peyton Manning/Ryan Leaf No. 1 vs. No. 2 pick promo and the 3 or 4 Colin Cowherd promos are really starting to get annoying.

First, it gets really annoying hearing the same thing every break. Second, are they going to be another victim of Clear Channel's money?

Citadel Broadcasting owns the Champ. they are the third largest radio group in the nation, and they are primarily owned by Disney. So they have money :)

As for the promos being replayed, yes, they would rather have ads being played than promos.

And the answer is: Unless 1700 gets some local programming Yes 1700 will fall victim to clear channel and its money. Has anyone heard the Squawkeye commercial on 1700 where they say its false controversy and unfavorable treatment on kxno?

Most stations run promos in a part of their commercial blocks over the course of a day. But the majority of those spot blocks, as they are called, are how a radio station makes money. And the more promos you hear, equals less revenue.

Re: 1700 The Champ

You can't get rid of Mike and Mike or Van Pelt and Tirico, those are the best shows they have. I also really like Gottleib's show. They could probably use something local for the evening drive, but that's about it...
